Groundworks in Crowborough, Paddock Wood and the Surrounding Areas | Located in Tunbridge Wells

To enable further development on projects across East Sussex and Kent, the team at LL Brickwork Ltd can offer a full groundworks service. Supporting building, construction and hard landscaping projects across the region, we offer turnkey solutions to customers and clients in the domestic, commercial and civil engineering sectors. Groundworks is the starting point for laying sub-bases, footings, foundations, concrete slabs, drainage and soakaways.

The groundworks phase of a project will typically cover the following:

  • Clearance of the Site
  • Demolition Work
  • Bulk Excavation
  • Earth Moving
  • Land Preparation
  • Bulk Spoil Removal

Importantly, we can clear land of inert and non-inert spoil to facilitate muck away operations using plant and machinery or third-party service providers.

Areas covered by LL Brickwork Ltd include:

Crowborough | Paddock Wood | Sevenoaks | Tonbridge | Tunbridge Wells

Groundworks has many applications in the field of construction, including the development of new builds and home extensions. In the hard landscaping sector, we excavate and prepare land to accommodate sub-bases prior to contractors laying paving for driveways and patios or, with the support of a structural engineer, we can stabilise ground conditions with retaining walls.

Clearance of the Site

The first step of the groundworks process is to clear land of scrub, vegetation and debris so that our contractors have full access to the working area.


Demolition Work

LL Brickwork Ltd can undertake small-scale demolitions, such as the removal of garden buildings, and our team can also take on soft strip-out work.

Bulk Excavation

Using plant and machinery, such as mini diggers and dumpers, we excavate to specified depths prior to preparing the site for builds or surface installations.

Earth Moving

Uplifted spoil undergoes separation into categories such as concrete, rubble, hardcore and topsoil, making it simpler to manage waste and repurpose it.

Site Preparation

Prior to building or landscaping the site, we make provisions for drainage to enable surface water runoff, and for the pouring of footings and foundations.

Bulk Spoil Removal

We can arrange for grab lorries and tipper trucks to attend site and clear all uplifted spoil for removal and transfer to licensed waste facilities for recycling.

The groundworks phase is one that will cause the most amount of upheaval, especially on a domestic basis where homeowners will still be living in their properties. LL Brickwork Ltd is considerate in its approach and in its planning. We scale operations so that individual stages are complete prior to us leaving at the end of each day. This means that mess, noise and inconvenience are kept to a minimum, and we always tidy up after ourselves while we work.

Should we need to section off an excavated area to keep the workspace in a safe condition for our customers and clients, this will also be taken care of before we finish work or, if applicable, before passing the job back over to the main contractor or developer. Our company has an impeccable safety record which we preserve by being careful and conscientious in what we do.
